Now my public library has come out in support of BLM
Enoch Pratt public library ^ | 6/10/20 | Me, Myself, & I

Posted on 06/10/2020 9:38:09 AM PDT by EinNYC

I got an email from my public library this morning, the Enoch Pratt library. They announced that they would have sidewalk service by appointment, and prominently displayed a link. I went to the link and was DISGUSTED to find the following statement. What does this have to do with libraries, books, or anything vaguely connected to learning? And, how can the library, a publicly funded entity, declare allegiance to an entity which is virulently anti-Israel, has ascribed to the the BDS movement?

Link to their BLM statement

Of course the libraries were left un-looted.

Sounds like they should rename themselves Eunuch Pratt Library.

As if they’d ever attack a library.

I share your pain and disgust. Makes me ill. I seek comfort in Christ. It’s the death rattle of the #DeepState. I take hope in that.

I suggest that you contact them to indicate that you don’t feel they should make any such public statements, since they are supported by taxes. Then contact the city council, mayor’s office, and/or whatever entity would be involved in setting funding and policies for the library.

Nazis burned books. So did the Mongols.

Vote for candidates who will abolish the library. You can get your library books online anyway.

BLM couldn’t have done better if they actually had a protection racket.

I’m surprised you’re surprised. Librarians are some of the most left-wing people around.

Ive been to the public library a few times. We call it the Homeless Hilton.

Because the gross, smelly homeless sleep there during the day, use the internet for crap, and use it to plug in their obama phones while harassing sane people who actually use the library..

The library should put on a show. ... The blm and antifa can be the actors and the trans queers can narrate. They could take it on the road to the elementary schools. ...

I vowed never to set foot again in my public library when they did a drag queen story hour (against the wishes of many users).

You have to realize that most librarians are left wing idiots - or too intimidated to raise their voices - and their professional organization, the ALA, has become nothing but leftist activism being paid for with member dues.
